When will the China-US travel ban be lifted?

Legal analysis: Wu Zunyou, the chief expert of China CDC, said that if 90% of the population in the United States is vaccinated to achieve group immunity, China and the United States may lift each other's travel bans before August and become the first countries in the world to resume free navigation.

Legal basis: Article 9 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Exit and Entry Administration. China citizens shall apply for passports or other travel documents when leaving or entering the country.

China citizens who want to go to other countries or regions also need to obtain visas or other entry permits. However, unless the China government has signed visa exemption agreements with other governments or the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provide otherwise.

China citizens who leave or enter the country as seafarers and work on foreign ships shall apply for a seaman's certificate according to law.
